<br>
I think is good that we keep this list unmoderated, for those who enjoy the rough style, but that we set up an alternative list open to everyone, but with a minimum set of mutual respect rules, for those who prefer to discuss without being insulted.<br>
<br>
This way we can benefit from everyone's contributions, and not only those who are tough enough to discuss in these terms or that have the know-how to set the adequate filters. <br>
<br>
In my experience, just knowing that there are some rules makes people much more respectful, which means that in practice rarely any moderation is needed.<br>
<br>
Would the PPI board be willing to adopt the task of maintaining such a moderated discussion list?<br>
<br>
Of course, the board would be free to delegate this task, but being an official PPI mailing list would mean that the board could always appoint a different responsible in case of conflict, or if the interest of the appointed responsible faded out with time. :-) <br>
<br>
Best regards,<br>
<br>

<pre style="white-space: pre-wrap; word-wrap:break-word; font-family: sans-serif; margin-top: 0px">I would opt as well for an open, but moderated new list with different <br />rules setup from the beginning, for those that prefer to avoid <br />flamewars and insults.<br /><br />I think there should be a place for free troll and flamewar speech; <br />trying to argue who and who isn't a troll i.e. should be kicked out is <br />often like arguing who and who isn't a pirate.<br /><br />There were discussions in the past without almost any rules. I <br />consider it difficult if not arbitrary to setup rules just like so. If <br />rules are setup IMO it either should be decided by the list owner or <br />in a sufficiently democratised process. Either one is not easily <br />attainable; especially if contrasted with the possibility of setting <br />up a new list.<br /><br />Furthermore I'd like to note, that for international coordinators and <br />leaders already exists an
internal ML setup by PPI itself.<br />And of course in most jurisdictions you usually also have the <br />possibility to sue people that insult you or provide a platform for <br />that; just in case you think it gets really unacceptable for you. <br />That's the easy way. Given you are already certain someone wants to <br />troll, insult or flame you without any honest intention, why argue <br />with them? After all you're likely a digital native and should know <br />better what works and what not.<br /><br />-pat<br /><br /><hr /><br />Pirate Parties International - General Talk<br />pp.international.general@lists.pirateweb.net<br /><a href="http://lists.pirateweb.net/mailman/listinfo/pp.international.general">http://lists.pirateweb.net/mailman/listinfo/pp.international.general</a><br /></pre></blockquote></div></body></html></body></html>
